No Mercy for Merci (and the Readers)
Most of us knew that the House Committee on Justice have found probable cause to impeach Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez. And most Filipinos are just okay with the fact that the wheels of impeachment against Merci has started rolling.
Let us just leave it there.
I was doing my daily habit of browsing my mail, news sites, and Twitter timeline, when I came across The Camerawalls’ front man Clementine Castro’s tweet that will eventually also ruin my day.
Merci’s large unflattering photo on the front page of Manila Bulletin today is ruining my breakfast.
I immediately searched the website of the Manila Bulletin and looked for a digital copy of the front page. Lo and behold! Clementine was right. Merci’s photo was indeed unflattering. And creepy.
The photographer who took this front page image must be given a Pulitzer prize in photojournalism for capturing Merceditas in her most glorious image.
What’s with the face Merci?
I invite you my dearest Tumblr friends, readers, and ninjas to stare at Merceditas Gutierrez’s face - even just for five minutes.
What a perfect way to jump start my Lenten sacrifice.
Friends, aside from praying and doing sacrifices for yourself and your loved ones, let us also pray for our Patria Adorada. Have a blessed Ash Wednesday everyone. Padayon!
